Has the Australian Government and news media gone completely insane? The government is actively seeking to stop religious organisations from upholding their religious convictions.
They are looking to prohibit Christian schools from teaching, promoting, and adhering to the Bible’s teachings with which the LGBTQI+ does not agree.

The ABC has come out with a “hit piece” about the Presbyterian Church of Australia in regard to her many private Christian schools which are a part of a denomination that upholds centuries-old established Christian teaching on ethics and morality, i.e. sexual promiscuity, homosexuality.
I find it painfully ironic that they are coming after schools that for the most part take a very soft line on LGBTQI+ issues.
Rev. Dr. John McClean made a submission in response to the Religious Educational Institutions and Anti-Discrimination Laws Consultation Paper on behalf of the Presbyterian church and in Dr. McClean’s usual style he used winsome and moderate language and held a rather soft, yet clear line.
“If this student were in an active same-sex relationship, they would not be able to give appropriate Christian leadership in a Christian school which requires modelling Christian living.” Perhaps guarding against perceived homosexual discrimination he went on to say, “This would also be the case for a student in a sexually active unmarried heterosexual relationship.”
Well, this got the ABC into a frenzy! How dare a minister in a Christian church have the audacity to imply sexual promiscuity is not modelling Christian living. (Enter eye roll from every Australian citizen with two cents between their ears.)
But here is the part of Dr. McClean’s submission that should get you into a frenzy, “Our schools [Christian schools] do not refuse or terminate enrolment for students on the basis of sexual orientation,” and he openly admits that Presbyterian schools do not seek to “select or exclude staff simply based on their sexual orientation, marital status or gender identity.”
